TOWN COUNCIL MEETING- Athletic Park Leased—Ordinance Repealed, —Other Business. The Town Council held its regular monthly meeting Thursday night. President Kocher and all the mem bers excepting Richardson were present : The meeting was called to order and the minutes of the last meeting read and approved. Rishton of the Fire and Water com mittee reported that the new appara tus for the Rescue Company was here, and had been placed in the Com pany's house. Supplee, of the Finance Committee made a report, showing the work of the committee. He stated that the Hennesy matter had all been settled. A petition was presented to Coun cil by C. C. Yetter, asking for a cross ing over Market Street at North side of Fourth. Referred to street com mittee. The following lease concerning Athletic Park was then read Whereas, at a meeting of the Town Council of the Town of Blooms burg, Pa., held at their hall on the nth day of January, A. D., I*B9B, it was resolved to lease 10 the Athletic Park Association, the Town Park, located between Seventh and Eight and Market and Centre Streets, for a term of five years, upon certain terms and conditions Now, therefore, this agreement made and concluded this Eighth day of February, A. D., 1898, between the said Town, lessor, and the Athle tic Park Association aforesaid, lessee, that for and in considera tion of the convenants and terms here inafter mentioned and reserved (and on the part of the said lessee to be kept and performed,) hath demised, leased and let, and by these presents doth demise, lease and let unto the said lessee, and said Park to be used for base ball, foot ball, and other inno cent and legitimate athletic sports. And the said lessee hereby agrees to plant a row of Carolina Poplar and Elm trees of good size, along the Center Street side of the said Park on the outside of the pavement, also to replace such trees as have been here tofore planted and are not growing along the north side of the said Park on the inside of the fence when lease expires. The said trees to be set under the direction of the Town en gineer, twenty feet apart and to be boxed. The fence to be kept in good order by the said lessee, and the trees to be properly trimmed and cared for by the said lessor. The work of planting trees and putting the Park in proper condition to be fully completed under the direction of the Town Engineer before June Ist, 1898; otherwise this lease to be void and of no effect. And the said lessee shall and will at the expiration of the said term of five years surrender and deliver up quiet and peaceable posses sion of the said Park without notice ONE OF TWO WAYS. The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The first way is from im perfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treat ment of other diseased. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womb, like the blad der, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or diseases, except in rare cases. It is situated back of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain,_ disease or inconvenience mani fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and ex traordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney, and bladder remedy, is soon realized. If you need a medicine you should have the best. At druggists fifty cents and I one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail. Mention THE COLUMBIAN and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &Co , Binghamton, N. Y.

This lease was 'the result of the meeting of the Finance Committee, who authorized the President to exe cute the same, and it is hereby signed, sealed and delivered. James Magee, 2nd, complained of the sewer on Sixth-Street. He says it is entirely too small, and that on one occasion he was compelled to stop work at the mill, owing to the water backing in the mill. He stated that he would hold the town responsi ble for any damage that might here after be caused from this source. The Town Engineer and Street committee informed the Council that the above trouble was caused by waste and not because the sewer was too small, and that at least a wagon load of rubbish, wooden paddles had been taken out of the sewer below the Magee mill. On motion ot Gorrey and Rishton it was ordered that a sump tbe con structed to catch the waste. The work giving the same to be under the supervision of the Town Engineer. The subject of license for transient merchants was taken up and it being ascertained that the Ordinance taxing such merchants SSO is unlawful and cannot be enforced, the following was read : ORDINANCE NO. 99. An ordinance to repeal Ordinance No. 46. Whereas the Courts of the State of Pennsylvania have declared that municipal ordinances requiring a tax upon transient, retail merchants are illegal. Therefore, be it enacted by the Town of Bloomsburg, and it is here by enacted by authority of same : That Ordinance No. 46, entitled, "An Ordinance to provide for the licensing of transient retail mer chants," be,and the same is hereby repealed. Attest W. R. KOCHER, Freeze Quick, Sec. Pres. Town Coun. On motion of Supplee, seconded by Hower the ordinance was adopted as read.

After the water gets to the boiling point let boil for fifteen to twenty minutes. Use cream and sugar to suit the taste. If you have not cream use hot milk. A lady said : "The first time I drank Grain O I did not like it, but after using it for ten days and forming the habit, nothing would induce me to go back to coffee." This is the experience of all. If you will follow directions, measure it every time and make it the same, and try it for ten days, you will not go back to coffee. THE \ FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE On which our shoes are built is merit.
